- Ranchbot
Participated · Series B · Aug 2026
Ranchbot combines field-installed hardware with recurring software to allow producers to remotely monitor water infrastructure and other assets across large agricultural properties. Water management remains the company's foundation, but it is developing broader capabilities that are expected to encompass livestock, wildlife and natural capital such as soil, pasture and biodiversity, plus other ranch and farm infrastructure. The company serves more than 12,000 customers responsible for roughly 10 million cattle and 15 million sheep across Australia, North America and other markets. With the Series B financing and a new global holding structure based in Fort Worth, Ranchbot is investing in additional staff, hardware and software development and pursuing partnerships to expand its platform. It is positioning its data infrastructure for potential value beyond individual farms, including use cases for insurers, lenders and supply-chain companies.
- Zetifi
Participated · Series A · Dec 2022
Zetifi develops long‑range Wi‑Fi coverage extension products aimed at improving internet and wireless connectivity on farms and regional areas served only by satellite or ADSL. The technology is positioned to remove a major barrier to digitalisation and automation in agriculture by delivering faster, more reliable on‑farm internet and Wi‑Fi. The company plans to double its software and product teams and scale manufacturing with the goal of entering the US market within the next 12–18 months. Zetifi has participated in accelerators including Telstra’s muru‑D (2019) and EvokeAg’s SparkLabs Cultiv8, and has received government grants and a $500,000 prize from the Grow‑NY competition. CEO and founder Dan Winson said on‑farm testing accelerated product development and refinement, enabling scalable applications of their technology for mass market deployment.
